Kevin Zeitler having an elite season as Browns right guard

The 2-5-1 record through the first half of the season is a disappointment for the Cleveland Browns, especially considering the recent offensive struggles. Don’t blame Kevin Zeitler for the low productivity of late.

Zeitler is quietly having a fantastic season at right guard. In fact, according to Pro Football Focus, he’s been the best guard in the NFL in 2018.

The guard with the highest pass-blocking grade in the league (93.0) is #Browns Kevin Zeitler. Zeitler allowed zero pressures last week and has only given up 5 all year in 383 pass-blocking snaps

It’s hard to notice Zeitler’s great work when the offensive tackles continue to struggle so much, but his ability to lock down the interior pass rush is a major asset in QB Baker Mayfield’s continuing development. Zeitler should be in line to receive his first Pro Bowl berth.
